An Injured Man ana a Cur.

A bridge builder who had the misfor
tune to sustain the fracture of his right
leg was brought in from iva last night.
The accident occurred a few minutes after
I o'clock yesterday morning. DR.. ]. H.
Maynard met the injured man at the train
and superintended his removal to the
hospital. SO far as could be learned a
heavy log or pile fell upon the mans
limb.
The victim of the accident was accom-
panied by a couple OF friends, one of
whom, a tall. brutal looking fellow, is both
an ignoramus and a coward. He was ex-
tremely abusive to several people who
entered the car with the best of intentions,
harshly ordering them out and appealing
to the conductor to enforce his mandate.
but without avail, The imported cur, no
citizen of the West could be 30 ungentle-
manly and boorish, would have been
soundly thrashcd but for the presence of
the injured man and a number OF ladies.

TIMELY TOPICS.
''5ay' Offers a Few Good suggestions
To All Concerned.

Laramie City is at present leading any
smaller city in the West in the race for
wealth. This is a fact that il patent to
any well informed person, and L mention
it only because of a desire to call attention
to a few pertinent facts, with the intent,
if possible, to show that Cheyenne should
be abreast of Laramie.
1t goes without saying that much, if
not most, of the capital that is going into
manufacturing enterprises in Laramie
comes from the outside, and why? Be-
cause its enterprising board of trade, hav.
ing realized last winter and spring, that if
the city would thrive it must stir, set
about to advertise and explain the re-
sources of the city. SO successfully did
they do this that outside capital was in
terested and induced to invest.
Then, capital followed capital,
until several splendid enterprises
are on foot. A glass factory, a
-four mill, a cracker bakery, and now a
smelter, each one of vast benefit, and all
Of sufficient importance to mainstay a
community.
Suppose all these things were added
unto Cheyenne2 Over 100 families more
would need homes. More than 400
additional souls would be added to the
city.
Cheyenne should have these 400 addi-
tipnal Gnnla--opl u,,,. I, -L.. Il
bounds of possibility to nave them.
A glass factory is Just as possible in
Cheyenne as in Laramie. As to water, a
glass factory needs comparatively little.
Coal can be furnished from either the
West or the North, or South. Sand and
lime exist in abundance all over the
Black Hills of Wyoming, while the re-
naming ingredient of glass-soda. can be
laid down cheaply from the central part
of the territory. If Cheyenne would
haul the raw materials a greater distance
haul with finished products to the mar
kets in Nebraska, Colorado, Northern
Wyoming and Dakota. One would offset
the other. Men can be found to invest
half the necessary funds if our home people
will invest the other half.
And then see the immense farms tribu-
tary to Cheyenne by way of the Cheyenne
& Northern railroad, awaiting a market
for wheat. A -four mill and a cracker
factory require a very ordinary amount of
water. Why not have them here? They
can be had if our people will labor as the
Industrious people of Laramie have la
bored.
No Eastern man will come West and
invest his money in manufacturing enter
prises unless he is encouraged to do so by
the people. He wants to see them put
up a little cash and otherwise back the
enterprises by the powerful influence of
interest.
Recent experience has demonstrated
that if a man should come in suddenly
unlimited and ask for certain privileges
for putting up some manufacturing estab-
lishment, he would meet with charges of
monopoly, greed, and all that sort of
thing. 1t therefore requires that our own
people should first move if they would
have strangers move for their benefit.
Let the citizens generally, and especi-
ally the board of trade, ponder over these
few points. JAY.
